my training approach

[emeric delczeg]

I been reciving PMs regarding my training concept, so I will answer by posting for all of you. The way I train is very effective becouse of the following: 1. I use as many muscle fibers as possible through heavy weight training

2. I add extra weght to the bar or machines when the muscle is the stongest, this way I am activating more fibers and I use both fast and slow-twich fibers this way.

3. I try to train for maximum muscle tissue damage, so they respond by rebuilding to larger than their original size.

4. I use visualization (brain power)

Do you still have your training manuel/book for sale Emeric?

I was giving it ou free. I will send you one.

I was giving it ou free. I will send you one.

Thank you..I remember reading sinips of your training from when you first joined(searched) it was very interested and I really like your approach. I'd like to try it one day...but I'd have a hard time finding 1 partner to help..let alone 2 lol.

Training partners are very important in my training, also visualiztion can be a powerful tool in creating a fertile environment for growth through resistence exercise. Of course, you can get along without it. Simply lifting heavy weights will account for some growth. But vusualization can be the difference between a satisfactory physique and an incredible physique.

 

[7_Deadly_Sins]

I agree 100% with visualiztion...if I use my mind to muscle connection..I feel I can lift more, and I really target the muscle better, instead of just going threw the movement.

Emeric, would you be able to shead some light on your nutritional approach? From the threads you've posted, you try some unorthodox things..atleast to me.(lol)
And, any books you have read or anything that influenced your choice for training and nutrition would be amazing too...assumeing you have time and don't mind.
Thanks!

Emeric,

Explain the Reverse Negatve aspect of the training!!

Negative vs Posetive

You are all heard about incorporating negative movements into our workouts.
Some of you assumed it was just a usless form of training that strained the joints and wasted time. Traditional negative training might may be ineffective after all. That is becouse during regular negative training the targeted muscle passively resist the weight by involving the maximum amount of muscle fiber. In order to move the weight back up to the start position, the additional aid of external help is neccessary. A training partner must involve himself to get the wight back to a point of stability. At this point a portion of the motor units (fiber and nerve connection) involved, shut off and the effectiveness of the negative repetition is significatly reduced. When you lifting a wight, an electric impulse is sent from your brain to the muscle fibers. When a spotter steps in , another impulse is sent from the brain instructing the muscle group to disconect from the neural procces. It can be a case of one fiber disconnecting, or thousands. With my concept the job of the spotters is not to lift the weight for you. They should never touch the bar or assist you forced reps. The purpose of the spotters is to manipulate the weights by reducing the total during the positive portion of the rep and increasing the weigt during the negative portion of the rep.

WHere can I read some more about your training philosophy?

I am interested in this as well

I remeber TP4U posted a video of himself doing a chest workout via your style. If im correct. You use a greater then normal weight on the negative. Have the training partners take some off at the bottom. YOu do the positive with less weight and at the top they put the heavier weight back on. Seems like a great way to train but any thoughts as if this can be done by someone who trains by themselves?

i would like a copy of your book also please, tia

I don't have a training partner, what is your opinion of drop sets? I tend to use these at the end of my workouts to finish off the muscle group.
For example I generally strech then do a warm up set and then proceed to make my biggest effort ie the maximum weight I can for 8-10 reps. After than I drop the weight down every set until I feel I have gotten the job done. Before changing to another movement I will do a drop set on a machine with no rest between weight decreases until I am using literally 20-30lbs.

I don't know any other way to get the benefit of negatives without a training partner. I do quite a few partials when I just cannot get another full rep as well.

No.

Choose exersices you can do negatievs on your own. it is not EXACLTY like Emerics but i do negatives on:

Dips-use foot step to get back to the starting position then descend for the negative portion
curls-cheat em up to the starting position then do the negative

there are many exersizes you can do this with. if you train arms uni-laterally then you can spot yourself with the un-used arm. --STEELE

I'm gonna try that with the dips. Seems like it would work well.

Any type of training system is good, long as you creat maximum muscle fiber damage, the answer to your question is yes, that is a good system, remember that any system of training requires an eating plan that fully supports all of the principles involved with rebuilding damaged muscle fibers without exceeding metabolism(i.e building muscle without gaining fat). The first objective is to provide the cell with the nutrition necessary for it to respond to this training systems. In other words, nourish the cell so that not only can the body rebuild and repair, but buid upon the already existing foundation through muscle cell hypertrophy.

you tube

I found this a couple of weeks ago but thought it might have been posted.
They have a couple of his workouts on you tube.

it seems similiar to the concept of using chains. it would not be exactly the same, as the resistance wouldnt be equal on the entire negative and it would get heavier during he positive, but to me it seems to be the closest thing to replicate it without a partner.

With the chains the resistance will be decreaset gradually on the negative part of the exercise, but is a good alternative if you don`t have training partners. It is very important to know exactly the lbs you use during the negative and the positive.
